Under the 2010 Highway Code

Moroccan driving licences (permis de conduire, رخصة السياقة) are governed by the Highway Code, Law 52-05, in force since October 2010, and are now issued by the national road safety agency NARSA, created by Law 103-14 in 2018. The 2010 implementing decree replaced paper licences with electronic cards, gave new drivers a probationary licence, and provided a 60-day provisional authorisation between passing the test and receiving the card. The theory test can be taken in classical or dialectal Arabic, Amazigh or French.

Older paper licences are still found in family files. For a US office, send the physical card, front and back. A Moroccan international driving permit is valid for at most three years and never longer than the national licence behind it, and it is not valid for driving in Morocco itself. It follows the 1968 Vienna Convention model, so most US offices ask for the national card instead.

Categories and what a DMV reads

The card lists the categories held, with their dates and any restrictions. We translate each line in order so categories stay matched to their dates, and we keep the licence number exactly as printed. A licence obtained by exchanging a foreign one starts as a probationary licence under the 2010 decree, so its dates may look recent. The licence number is copied character by character.

Each US state decides whether a foreign licence counts toward a local one, and a translation gives no right to drive. Some states have exchange arrangements for particular countries and many do not, so ask your DMV before you order. See our DMV translation page. See also the Moroccan national ID card page, our Arabic page and our French page.

What USCIS requires

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.

State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
